Saturday we went into Warsaw to the University and had a lecture with the head of the music department. On Sunday we were going to the home of Chopin and our Professor thought it necessary for us to learn as much about the Composer and Pianist as we could before we went. It was actually a quite entertaining lecture with the Professor rambling on and periodically running up to the Piano to play. Very stereotypical of what one would think of as a Music Professor, kinda crazy.
Sunday was a perfect day. Blue skies and music in a garden.
We took another long bus ride out to Zelazowa Wola, the home town of Chopin. We were able to tour his child hood home and lands. While wandering the gardens we enjoyed a beautiful concert of his works. A pianist came out introduced herself and then went inside Chopin's house to play his composed works on the Piano. The whole thing was supposed to feel as if we were back in the day and listening to Chopin himself playing. It was beautiful. There really are no words for how great a day this was.
After hours of enjoyment we took a late lunch in a restaurant nearby. Delicious Spinach Pierogis yummmmm
And sadly
had to head back to real life and work.
